Word origin

The word 'appellation' comes from the Late Latin 'appellatio', which means 'a calling'. This, in turn, is derived from the Latin verb 'appellare', meaning 'to call or name'. The term has roots in the early medieval usages associated with naming and identifying individuals or categories. First recorded in English in the late 14th century, it has since evolved to encompass both general naming as well as specific legal and geographical implications, especially in the context of regional classifications for products such as wine and cheese. This development reflects broader cultural practices regarding naming, identity, and quality control.
